They got the legends at RVX, Reykjavík Visual Effects, to build and animate this virtual book which I then got the honor to illustrate.
We wanted the illustrations to add a little bit of an adventure and courage to rather institutional buildings, so watercolored sketches was the style we ended up with. Allowing the colors and lines to flow freely and creatively on the paper.
This was such a fun project to work on and I'm extremely proud of the result.]]> The quality folks at PIPAR\TBWA ad agency wanted to make a pop-up book showing all of the educational buildings that The University of Iceland has built with the money from it's patrons and lottery participants.

The topic of the album is about our everyday hassle as modern people, raising families and watching ourselves step into our parents footsteps, the cycle of generations.
So we found it fitting to base our imagery around porcelain dishes which where popular collectors items for the generation before us, something that we have grown up with hanging on our parents and grandparents walls and have become a part of their ambience. We created new illustrations that related to the album and incorporated part of the lyrics into the dish illustration.

In this exhibition we met a group of individuals, people and creatures that up till now have only been visible to their best friends. Children and grown-ups from all over the world shared with me beautiful stories about their current or past imaginary friends which I then illustrated.
I'm selling both the originals* and prints of each artwork, you can order it by email:

* Studio Erla & Jonas is donating the complete sales worth of the original artwork to the Children's Hospital in Reykjavík.]]> My first solo exhibition, Traustur vinur (True friend), was held at Gerðuberg in Iceland 2013.
